SOUTHERN ROAD, MENTONE NORTH PRECINCT
1.0
--/--/20-C111
Design objectives
To achieve a residential conversion consistent with Council’s ‘incremental change area’
policy (Clause 21.05) recognising the site’s distance from major public transport
infrastructure and other services.
To encourage a high standard of urban design, including the incorporation of
Environmentally Sustainable Design principles.
To minimise any adverse impacts on existing adjoining residential properties.
To ensure dwellings abutting the retarding basin are designed in a way to incorporate
passive surveillance over the area.
To encourage the consolidation of land on the western side of Southern Road.
To minimise adverse impacts on residential amenity resulting from the proximity to the
Moorabbin Airport through incorporating the consideration of noise attenuation measures
in building and design.

Section 173 Agreement
Before a permit is granted to subdivide, use or develop the subject site(s), the owner(s)
must enter into an agreement with the responsible authority made pursuant to Section 173
of the Planning and Environment Act 1987 to provide:

Disclosure on all land titles of aircraft noise implications

Distribution of information to alert potential property purchasers to the site’s
proximity to a busy commonwealth airport

Buildings and works
--/--/20-C111
Building Design

Development should be based on contemporary architecture and innovative
urban design principles

Development should contribute positively to local urban character and enhance
the public realm while minimising detrimental impact on neighbouring
properties

Buildings should not exceed a maximum of two storeys to facilitate passive
surveillance of the retarding basin.

Development should have a variety of dwelling and lot sizes across the precinct

At least two materials should be used for each dwelling façade

Ensure no two identical facades are within 4 houses (only applicable on sites
where development of 4+ dwellings is occurring)

Fences should not be higher than 1.2 metres, in order to facilitate passive
surveillance
DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT OVERLAY – SCHEDULE 22

KINGSTON PLANNING SCHEME

Development should provide public and private realm landscaping that is
incorporated within the development, including considerations around
reinstatement of kerbs and nature strip treatments

Development should minimise any detrimental impact to any existing residential
properties

Development should provide an acoustic interface with any adjoining airport
land; including but not limited to, the use of setbacks and acoustic fencing.
Private Open space

Open space should have northern solar access where possible.
Environmentally Sustainable Design (ESD)

All dwellings should have a minimum 2000L rain water tank.

Development should provide energy efficient public lighting.

All dwellings should have solar hot water heating.

All dwelling should have a minimum eave depth of 450mm.
Noise Attenuation
Any application for a new dwelling, whether or not within the Moorabbin Airport
Environs Policy Area, must be accompanied by an acoustic engineering report prepared by
a suitably qualified person demonstrating that the dwelling will be attenuated in accordance
with Section 3 of the Australian Standard AS2021 - 1994, Acoustics - Aircraft Noise
Intrusion - Building Sitting and Construction, issued by the Standards Association of
Australia, as if each dwelling were within the Moorabbin Airport Environs Policy Area.
4.0
Subdivision
--/--/20-C111
A permit is required to subdivide land.
An application for a permit to subdivide land must demonstrate the following, as
appropriate:

Overall high standards of environmental sustainability;

Safe and convenient pedestrian, cycle and vehicular access points to each lot and
surrounding public open space so that linkages to open space can be maintained.
Consolidation of land
In order to achieve optimal subdivision patterns, including passive solar principles and
other urban design considerations, the consolidation of land is encouraged.

Information to be submitted with an application
--/--/20-C111
Use and development
A Site Analysis and Urban Context Report explaining how the development achieves the
design ‘Objectives’ and considerations outlined in Building and Works sections of this
schedule.
An appropriate design response should address the following considerations:



Land use mix
Stages of development as applicable to ensure overall site integration where
appropriate.
Energy efficient dwelling design and water sensitive urban design initiatives
DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT OVERLAY – SCHEDULE 22
PAGE 2 OF 3
KINGSTON PLANNING SCHEME

How the development addresses the acoustic interface with any adjoining
industrial and/or airport land; including through the use of setbacks and acoustic
fencing.
Subdivision
An appropriate design response should address the following considerations:

Subdivision pattern

Stages of subdivision as applicable to ensure overall site integration where
appropriate.

Energy efficient lot design and water sensitive urban design initiatives in new
roads
All applications
Should provide

An assessment of the development against the Sustainable Design Scorecard
and/or Sustainable Tools for Environmental Performance (STEPS). The
development must achieve compliance with the Sustainable Design Scorecard and
meet the STEPS targets, and demonstrate energy efficiency, waste management
and water sensitive urban design initiatives

A statement addressing how the proposed development responds to any interface
with the retarding basin, including the management of passive surveillance
A statement on how the proposal responds to any interface with any existing
residential properties.


A statement on how the development responds to Clause 21.05 of the Local
Planning Policy Framework
6.0
Decision guidelines
--/--/20-C111
Before deciding on an application the responsible authority must consider:
Note:

The staging of any new residential development to ensure that key integration
issues between new and existing adjoining activities can be adequately addressed.

Whether the development responds appropriately to the design objectives,
including the justification for any departure from the design objectives.

Whether the development meets the requirements under STEPS.

Whether a concept plan and staging plan has been developed for the area.

The effect of new development on the amenity of neighbouring residential
properties.

Whether the development provides appropriate noise attenuation to mitigate
airport activities.
Please refer to the schedule to Clause 52.03 of the Kingston Planning Scheme for precinct
specific provisions.
